(A declaration adopted by the 68th Annual Conference of the American Missionary Alliance Church, translated from the 1986 Handbook.)<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

1. I believe in the one true God, infinite and perfect, eternal in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

2. I believe that Jesus Christ is a divine and human being, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died on the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice for the unrighteous, so that all who believe in Him may be justified by His shed blood. According to the Bible, he rose from the dead and now sits at the right hand of the Most High as our high priest. He will come again to establish a kingdom of righteousness and peace.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

3. I believe that the Holy Spirit is a divine person who is sent to live in the hearts of believers to guide, teach and empower them; and to convict people of sin, righteousness and judgment.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

4. I believe that the original books of the Old and New Testaments are free of error and are inspired by God word for word. They are the complete revelation of God\u2019s will to redeem mankind and are the only standard of faith and behavior set by God.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

5. I believe that man was created in the image of God and fell because of his disobedience to God, resulting in the death of both soul and body. Every person has an innate sinful nature and is separated from the life of God. The only way to be saved is through the redemption of the Lord Jesus Christ. Anyone who does not repent and believe will end up in eternal pain, while anyone who believes will enjoy eternal bliss.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

6. I believe that Jesus Christ has prepared salvation for mankind, so that all who repent and believe can be reborn by the Holy Spirit, receive eternal life, and become children of God.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

7. I believe that it is the will of God that all who believe in Him be filled with the Holy Spirit, wholly sanctified, separated from the world and sin, and consecrated themselves to do the will of God; thereby they will be empowered to live a holy life and to serve effectively. \u201cThis is the spiritual transformation and growth experience of believers after they repent.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

8. I believe in the great work of salvation of the Lord Jesus, including the healing of the body. Anointing the sick with oil and praying for them is the teaching of the Bible and is also the right of the church in this age.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

9. I believe that the church is composed of all those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, are redeemed by the Lord\u2019s precious blood, and are reborn by the Holy Spirit. The Church has Christ as its head and receives from him the ministry to bear witness to all the world, to preach the gospel to all nations. The local church is a group of local Christians who come together to worship, be edified by the Word of the Lord, pray together, fellowship with one another, preach the gospel, and administer the sacraments, namely baptism and the Lord’s Supper.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

10. I believe that both the righteous and the unrighteous will be resurrected bodily, the former to life, the latter to condemnation.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

11. I believe that the Lord will come again at any time. This is a concrete and visible fact, and that He will come again before the millennium. This is the blessed hope of believers and an important truth, which motivates believers to live holy lives and serve faithfully.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
